Intro Log.





Ding, dong, bell,
Pussy's in the well.
Who put her in?
Little Johnny Thin.
Who pulled her out?
Little Tommy Stout.
What a naughty boy was that,
To try to drown poor pussy cat,
Who never did him any harm,
But killed all the mice in the farmer's barn.




ou wake in knee-deep water, cold as ice and stagnant, in a space that is far too echoey and spacious. It feels like a massive cave, but looking up... there's only one small, circular opening that shows grey sky and shines any sort of light.

It looks like a long trip upwards, a small cylinder with walls of brick that's just a little too high to reach, even when jumping. Getting out is probably going to be a bit of a task, especially considering the water is more than cold enough to make limbs go numb.

The dark makes it impossible to see much further, but the space seems large, all filled with water, but with no other way out, stone walls the only thing for an intrepid explorer to find.

But most importantly of all... you're not alone.




Welcome to Awash's first intro log, everyone! Please review the FAQ and rules before playing. Characters have all woken at the bottom of the well in the middle of the town (which seems a lot bigger on the inside, somehow), and it looks like they'll have to put in some work to get out.

Once out, they'll be free to explore the various locations the Town has to offer at will. Just try not to die on any of the far-too-rickety walkways.

Further information can be found here at the OOC post, and don't forget to greet your fellow players here!

If it's a trap, then the real question is has it already sprung on us or not? Because I don't know about you, but I wasn't anywhere like this before we got here.

[Estelle taps her fingers against her staff as she glances around at the buildings, considering.]

So they had to transport the whole bunch of us at once to somewhere remote like this, all while making sure no one woke up. And that's not even getting into the creepy state of everything.....
good_ideas: (geez || This takes me back)

Does it matter if it's sprung or not? We're already stuck in it. [And if she had built a trap, she would have made it so that the victims would be allowed ample time to squirm.

But that's just her.]


Or maybe none of us have been transported anywhere and we're all just hallucinating back in our own worlds. I don't think we've been drugged... [But she doesn't sound sure of it.]
brightlyshines: (paper tests are hard)

[personal profile] brightlyshines 2018-03-17 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Estelle seems uncomfortable from the way she grips her staff a little tighter and the way the set of her shoulders tighten. She has some not so fond memories, ok.]

I've got to agree with you on that... I'm pretty sure I'd remember that.

[She lets out a sigh, shaking her head. It was still hard to believe this was another world entirely, but the more she saw and heard the more real the likelihood was.]

So.... this is another world, huh? Would that make the grayness normal for this place....? No, it wouldn't look like this if it was.

That's assuming they knew what they were doing when they drugged us in the first place.

[This whole situation is messed up, the well, the town, where everyone had gone-]

Without knowing what it used to be like, I don't think we can say for sure. If only there was a clue or something left behind. [A ruined town should have been a treasure trove of information for a psychometer like her, but it's empty. Completely, inexplicably empty.]
brightlyshines: (thinking face)

[personal profile] brightlyshines 2018-03-17 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
Even then... It didn't feel like it, to me.

[She glances around the town, eyeing the buildings around them with a look of consideration. A clue....]

Maybe there's some information in one of these houses? Like a newspaper, or a town bulletin.
good_ideas: (geez || kinda worried. maybe. sorta.)

[personal profile] good_ideas 2018-03-18 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
...what, do you get drugged a lot? [Shiho pauses, struggling for just a moment to try and not pry and worry.]

If there's any information, we'd have to look for it. Hopefully it hasn't disintegrated. The laptops are no help.
brightlyshines: (Welllll)

[personal profile] brightlyshines 2018-03-18 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
W-well.... [Twice, in fact, but she didn't want to talk about that.] You know, sleeping pills and stuff? I've taken those before. I figure it's kind of like that!

[It's a lie, but she does not want to talk about it.]

For that matter, where'd the laptops come from? A guy showed me them, but I don't understand why a town in this shape still has things that look brand new.

[personal profile] good_ideas 2018-03-18 08:06 am (UTC)(link)
[That's a yes to the drugging, then.... Shiho is worried, now.] I don't think you taking sleeping pills counts as "being" drugged.

[But that's all she's going to say about it.]

They could be part of the trap? I wish they'd given us something nicer than those laptops though.
brightlyshines: (Hm)

[personal profile] brightlyshines 2018-03-19 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
Well I didn't say I was drugged, just that I figured it was like it.

[The subject change is a blessing, and Estelle pounces on it.]

But why leave us something useful like a communication device in a place like this? That seems helpful, if suspicious.
good_ideas: (geez || scooters don't do 70 ok)

[personal profile] good_ideas 2018-03-19 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[Either way, Shiho hopes no more drugging is going to go on here. At least, not if she could help it.]

Maybe there's something they want from us? Or it could be like the laptops and TVs that psychotic killers leave for their victims, telling them how they can escape if they just get rid of everyone else? [.....And now she's made it sound extremely suspicious, oops.]
brightlyshines: (upset)

[personal profile] brightlyshines 2018-03-20 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
They what?!

[Estelle comes from simpler times where technology hasn't yet reached that level, so that sort of scenario is....

well, horrifying. She doesn't even know what a TV is.]
good_ideas: (geez || kinda worried. maybe. sorta.)

[personal profile] good_ideas 2018-03-20 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
...I saw it in a movie once.

[Or was it twice? There were sequels but after a time she'd gotten kind of bored. Though she'd thought the movie was kind of ridiculous and if the killer had captured espers, it would have been very much shorter and an entirely different kind of movie.]
brightlyshines: (paper tests are hard)

[personal profile] brightlyshines 2018-03-20 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
A movie....? What's that, some sort of crime novel?

[Please, please say it's fictional....]
good_ideas: (geez || kinda worried. maybe. sorta.)

[personal profile] good_ideas 2018-03-20 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
Kind of like a crime novel, but.... it’s moving pictures instead of just words. [So yes, completely fictional.]
brightlyshines: (SIGH)

[personal profile] brightlyshines 2018-03-20 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Aah.... like the display on the Ariselle? Maybe.]

So.... it's just a story, then.

[She looks relieved by that, to be honest.]

[personal profile] good_ideas 2018-03-20 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course! [Or as far as Shiho knows? Though she's arguably seen worse things when she went after her dad's cold cases.]
brightlyshines: (Welllll)

[personal profile] brightlyshines 2018-03-22 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
That's a relief....

[Listen! She does not want to be dragged into a horror movie!]
good_ideas: (evil || oh my gosh that's like)
